Overview
- Crosby is in the late stages of rehab from January meniscus surgery and has been doing limited work at OTAs while saying he is “almost there” to full activity.
- A deal that would have sent Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens was voided in March after Baltimore failed his physical, a trade that originally included two first-round picks to the Raiders.
- The player has publicly recommitted to Las Vegas, calling the March episode “water under the bridge” and saying he wants to stay and help the team.
- League interest remains high from contenders such as the Eagles, Cowboys, 49ers, Patriots, Bills and Bears, but teams are cautious because of the failed physical and Crosby’s contract guarantees.
- Crosby is a five-time Pro Bowler with sustained production, which is why the Raiders are holding out for a large return and why any acquiring club must weigh medical risk, cap cost and potential in-season timing.
